Advantages of Education to Pre
vent Accidents Is Outlined at
Dinner to Visitors.
Oregon is to have a state council of
the National Safety council. Organiza
tion will be perfected at a meeting to
toe held at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon
In the green room at the Chamber of
Commerce, and will be followed by a
meeting in the evening at the public
library for plant foremen, superintend
ents and- safety engineers.
C. "W. Price, general manager of the
Kational Safety council, was the guest
last night of a dinner tendered by Ore
Eon manufacturers in the crystal room
of the Benson hotel, and delivered an
address showing what has been accom
plished in tther sections of the country
In the prevention of unnecessary acci
dents. He gave statistics showing that
during the 19 months of war this na
tion los,t 56,227 men in battle and some
200,000 were wounded. In the same
period here In America, he said, 126,654
were killed through accidents in fac
tories, on the street or in the home,
and more than two millions were in
jured permanently, or sufficiently to
necessitate the loss of four weeks' time.
Movement Shown Effective.
' Mr. Price declared there never was a
time In the history of the country when
employers were working more diligently
for the welfare of their employes and
coming to a realisation of what the
loss in human factory equipment means
to industry. He touched upon the sit
uation in England and then took up a
number of factories in which the safety
campaign had been inaugurated, citing
figures to show the effectiveness of the
movement.
Briefly he reviewed the progress of
the National Safety council, its pro
gramme for the conservation of hu
manity and the great benefit that in
dustry is realizing through the effort
now being made to place every possible
safeguard about its workers.
Education, he said, is being found far
more valuable than mechanical devices
in preventing accidents and every com
pany inaugurating the campaign has
been rewarded by extraordinary divi
dends. The St. Louis car shops. Mare Island
shipyard, Omaha smelter. "Wisconsin
paper mills, steel corporation and the
3 ailroads were held up as examples of
accomplishment in the prevention of
heedless accidents and loss of life.
Local lteanlts Cited.
Representatives of Portland and
Oregon plants affiliated with the na
tional safety council delivered short

when he had paid for good seats, and
